What are Life Activity Stations?

According to the Goodwin Living Citizenship Program, sensory simulation has been researched and proven to be an effective and valuable tool for those caring for individuals at any stage of dementia. Memory support practitioners have utilized this method for many years. Our stations are thoughtfully designed to engage our residents in sensory experiences, enhancing their senses, emotions, and responses.

Areas include:

  • Baby: This station features a bassinette, clothing, diapers, bottles, and, of course, babies to hold and dress. It helps our residents find a sense of purpose as they nurture and care for the little ones.
  • Travel: The world is within reach, with vibrant maps that spark memories of trips to distant lands, local maps that evoke nostalgia for living in one of the greatest cities, Pittsburgh, and a variety of luggage and items that create the feeling of traveling back in time.
  • Floral Arrangements: Our Flower Store allows residents to stroll by, take a flower, or create their own arrangement. They can then take their arrangements back to their apartments to enjoy.
  • Touch Sensory: Designed to soothe anxiety, this touch sensory activity station is created for residents seeking tactile stimulation.
  • Laundry Area: Our laundry station provides a sense of purpose, giving residents the opportunity to fold laundry and feel actively involved in daily tasks.
